On the stand were some badly frostbit ten cabbage heads, n few sprigs of herbs and a twist or two of tobucco. The woman behind this lay-out was huddled in what had been tw blanket shawl in Its prime, and a wooly some thing was wound around her head. "Nice cabbages, lady " They wore abom.nablo cabbages, but the too generous description, so pathetic when told by a very old and forlorn creature to entice a few cents her way, caused the maiden lady to stop.

iTcinirAKi xiws TUCUMCARI NEW .MEXICO. The frequent recurrence of the headline, "Fraud Falla." suggests an amendment to the proverb about the birthrate of suckers. To a man who can take a pants but ton of fact and evolve from It a whole wardrobe of scandal nothing is im possible except the truth. The. prototype of "Huckleberry Finn" Capt. A. O. Tonkroy of .Murray, Idaho is dead. "Huckleberry" him self bids fair to be immortal. Some of the composers of modern music should consult the dictionary as to the meaning of the word mtiuie. They seem to have forgotten it. New York announces that us high art theater will not be run for profit. That is lucky. It is not likely to be prolltuble if it sticks to high art.

HIM LIVE? STOCK Mulching Potatoes. For nearly fifteen yearn I have h".?n engaged In growing stock, wheat, corn and potatoes, making potato growing by the mulching process a specialty. I have grown potatoes by mulching ccntlnnally for 11 years. The most serious objection to successful mulch ing is the self-feeder and wind straw Btacker. Straw so thrashed not so good for mulching as is that thrashed In the old way. In the first place the straw Is cut up so fine you can very easily get too much of it on potatoes. Another much more serious objection la that, there Is too much good as well as Imperfect wheat blown all over the straw rick. No one can ex pect a good yield of potatoes where there Is too much volunteer wheat growing. If conditions are not changed it will be necessary to have a large latticed table built on a sled form and the straw all rehandled, so that the 'vheat will be sifted out. In this part of central Ohio, with Its droughty sea sons and extreme heat, it will ho more ...

-i awl Poultry Notes. Ono often sees wood ashes vised In the poultry houso in winter, olthor combined with the manure to keep it in good condition for use in the gar den, or scattered om the shelves be- Farm Dultsr for Exhibition. We advise all farmers to take pnrt In dairy exhibits whenever they have the opportunity. Farm butter for ex hibition should be made more care fully than that for the general trade. MISCELI neath tlio roosts to make them easy This may not hound like good advice to clean. This is a great mistake, as much of the value of the manure Is lost on account of the chemical change caused by the union of the two sub stances. It causes t he ammonia In the mauuro to be liberated and it passes off into the air and Is lost. Not only that, but the ammonia is not a good thing for the fowls when they are confined in such close quarters. Saw dust, dry earth, dead leaves or coal ashes may be safely used, as they cause the loss of no valuable ele ments. We feed nil nuts left af...
